4 questions to ask your wedding planner: Your guide for the best way to experience your Maui elopement or wedding ceremony.

Aloha from Maui, home to the most pristine and scenic beaches on Earth. Couples flock from around the world to celebrate their commitment ceremonies to each other on the edge of the warm Pacific. There are so many details to consider when planning your wedding or elopement that choosing a professional wedding planner is an indispensable resource to making your vision real. In our 15 years of experience Marry Me Maui has compiled a list of some of the most important considerations you should discuss with your wedding planner to best experience your elopement or wedding ceremony.

• Beach Wedding.

Beach weddings, elopements and vow renewals are very popular with our clients for several reasons; the locations are beautiful, there is no additional fee involved in setting up on the beach except for the state permit which we provide, and a casual beach wedding with your toes in the sand is an experience that only a select few get to experience in their lifetimes. While all the beaches in Hawai'i are public, there is a limit of 30 for all Maui beach wedding ceremonies.

• Timing.

Couples always ask about the best time of year or the best time of day, they ask about incorporating a luau or other event into the plan. Our experience has been that mornings are a great time for a wedding on Maui. Beaches are less crowded and the colors of the ocean are more saturated. Summer is a drier season on Maui and while any time of year can produce rain it is less likely during the summer months. Winter is generally warm and clear here but the chance of rain increases. Remember, when you book a Maui beach wedding, there is no covered back up location in case of inclement weather! That being said, it is rare to have to walk between the raindrops to get to your destination.
